One School at a Time by Greg Mortenson & David Oliver-Relin In 1993 a mountaineer named Greg Mortenson drifted into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram mountains after a failed attempt to climb K2. Moved by the inhabitants’ kindness, he promised to return and build a school. Three Cups of Tea is the story of that promise and its extraordinary outcome. Since then Mortenson has built not just one, but over 70 schools - especially for girls - in the forbidding terrain that gave birth to the Taliban. His story is both a riveting adventure and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit. Offering: $6. Register/prepay by March 12. Admission charged.
